Ferris Wheel

Today we feature a picture of some young ladies loading into a ferris wheel. The picture is from 1942. The Ferris Wheel is my kind of ride. The lines are usually short, the rides are fairly long, and you dont get sick on them, at least I dont.

I always liked the ferris wheel, too -- even after my cousin and I got stuck at the top of a double ferris wheel at the Iowa State Fair, back in the '60s. I didn't get sick, but I surely did get a little nervous during that twenty minutes.

About Me

I grew up in West Texas, and could not wait to get away. I got away, and went to the University of Texas, and then on to Stanford. I saw the world, and decided what I really wanted was to be in West Texas. So here I am, right back where I started. I had it all, and found it was not that great.

I have been an avid collector of old photographs and documents for over 30
years. The photographs on this site are derived from material I have collected
over the years. Some came from old family albums, some from material I bought at
flea markets over the years, and some from government archives of public domain
images, including the US Library of Congress, and the National Archives. We
appreciate you visiting this blog, and hope you find it interesting.
